Chapter 114: Influencing the Development of Civilization and Testing Medicine
I don't know if the special temperament of Old Man Tang is murderous, it can affect ordinary people, even his relatives are usually very afraid of him.
But after taking the genetic optimization solution, this situation changed radically.
Yang Zhou said to Grandpa Tang: "Grandpa Tang, the situation you said is normal, because the new thing I have researched is acting on genes and causing fundamental changes in human genes. ”
"Not only can it strengthen the body, but also can improve the life expectancy, after you take it, you may shed a layer of skin, that is, the new replicated cells replace the original cells, in addition to the two days of going to the toilet there may also be some special changes."
"These are normal conditions, it is conservatively estimated that if you take this medicine, you will be able to walk on the ground in a few days, you will be about to be 100 years old, if this technology continues to break through, you will live for another fifty years, no problem at all!"
After listening to Yang Zhou's words, the eyes of everyone in the room suddenly widened.
Yang Zhou actually said that he could let the old man live for another fifty years!
Although there is no way to do it now, everyone is full of confidence in Yang Zhou, after all, Yang Zhou was only one or two months away from dying of cancer, but it was in this month or two that cancer treatment drugs were developed.
In the eyes of everyone, Yang Zhou really has unlimited potential.
As long as he wants to do it, it can probably be done.
And everyone has seen more, saying that it is 50 years, so will you be able to live for 100 years, 200 years, or even a thousand years after that?
The most important thing is whether humanity has access to the realm of God.
Touch the threshold of eternal life!
No one doesn't want to live longer, even the first emperor of the ages, the first emperor who unified China, had the same desire for immortality and made an attempt.
With the development of modern civilization and the progress of medical science, the ultimate goal is still to make people live longer.
It's just that no one has ever been able to succeed before, and even if they are powerful, there are very few people who are more than 100 years old.
Legend has it that some of the top capitalists in the beautiful country, a few old guys engaged in steel and oil, in order to be able to live longer, have to change their blood every once in a while.
Replace the blood of your own seventy and eighty with the blood of young people.
Countless fantasy works outside, such as vampires and other themes, actually have the shadow of these old guys, and some literary and artistic workers are satirizing these old guys.
In addition to this kind of old guy who has exchanged blood, even the richest man now, whether it is Hong Kong Island or Bill in a beautiful country, has invested countless amounts of money in life science research.
It's not about being able to live longer.
The people outside have not succeeded, but now Yang Zhou has touched the threshold and made results.
"This kind of thing has too much impact, I want to know how much it costs, is there a possibility of large-scale production, if it is really only a small part of the production, and the price paid is very large, then I actually don't recommend that you make this news public." Tang Zhan said after pondering for a long time.
If something that can make people immortal, it will cost countless resources, and it can only meet the needs of a small number of people to achieve lifespan.
That old man Tang has already seen what will become of the future, it will be an inherent class established by a long-lived person, it will become a monopoly class, and it will not even be good news for the development of the entire civilization.
Yang Zhou obviously also thought about this matter, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the main raw material for Grandpa Tang to make this genetic optimization liquid is a new plant that I researched, and the growth cycle of this plant is within one year." ”
"And all the materials used can be obtained through cultivation, and in the future, if the technology is more advanced, we can even incorporate this special plant gene into our daily food rations."
"So it's a technology that all of humanity can enjoy, and most importantly, we don't have to worry about overpopulating the planet and causing more damage to the planet."
"Because, we have mastered the technology of interstellar exploration and development, and there will be too many people on the earth at that time, so the sea of stars is the future."
Yang Zhou said very confidently, and his attitude also infected everyone, and Old Man Tang no longer considered the negative effects of immortality.
Begin to think about the changes this technology will bring to the entire civilization.
He had asked Yang Zhou in detail just now, and at present, he can increase his life span by a maximum of 10 years.
It can also make the aging body return to a youthful state, although it is a 10-year life expectancy, but the physical fitness can be greatly improved.
Just like he had felt before.
After taking the genetic optimization solution, he is already considered a new human, even if he is a dragon and phoenix among people and has a special temperament on his body, he will not affect the new human at all.
In the face of the new humans, the previous ones are naturally much worse.
Yang Zhou only emphasized the improvement of life span and physical fitness, and Tang Zhan also considered whether this kind of genetically optimized drug would also make IQ evolve.
If even the brain is optimized, the speed of technological development will accelerate in the future.
Tang Zhan is a more cautious person, and he thinks about things much more comprehensively than Yang Zhou, he thinks for a while and says: "I will pay attention to this matter, although I am retired, there are still many students and old subordinates who are still on the post, and the news should not spread for the time being." ”
"It is necessary to determine the full efficacy of this drug, do a lot of human experiments, and estimate the yield, and plan the entire follow-up before it can be made public."
Yang Zhou nodded in agreement.
Then Yang Zhou was criticized, because in Tang Zhan's opinion, what Yang Zhou did was very risky.
Suddenly developed a genetically optimized drug, although it is a plant extract that Yang Zhou himself researched, but there are naturally countless risks in scientific research.
Looking back at history, how many scientists died on the road of exploration.
For example, Marie Curie, who discovered radioactive elements, Nobel, who researched more powerful explosives, and even many scientific researchers who did not leave their names in history at all.
They may accidentally come into contact with harmful substances during experiments, or they may take the initiative to study the properties of a substance and try it themselves.
In short, there are too many people dying on this road.
There are foreign ones, and even in ancient times, there were many domestic ones, such as Shennong, who tasted herbs, just to know the medicinal properties and take medicine himself.
What Yang Zhou did now seems to be Shennong's act of tasting herbs.
And Yang Zhou not only tasted it himself, but also gave the medicine to his family.
It's too late to say anything now, Yang Zhou's family has already taken the medicine.
said that Yang Zhou was clear, so that he would consider the consequences in the future, and be more rigorous and cautious, which made Yang Zhou very embarrassed.
He also has a last resort, if it is ordinary scientific research, Yang Zhou is very careful, and never dares to try dangerous things.
Using your own body to test the medicine, that is even more impossible.
Whether it was cancer drugs or things he bought in the mall later, he had been tested on animals and studied genes.
In addition, the seeds produced by the system mall have been certified by the system.
So Yang Zhou didn't worry about the plants being poisoned at all.
This time, the plants given by Li Wei also made the genetic code public, and Yang Zhou mastered the functions used by these plants.
Of course, even so, Yang Zhou also modified a lot of guinea pigs and rabbits and made them take genetic optimization solution first.
Old Man Tang may have some opinions about Yang Zhou because he only took it himself after a short experiment.
Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case, even if it is given to mice and rabbits, humans are genetically similar to these two, and the genetic optimization solution is useful for rabbits and mice, but it is always different.
The most important thing is that the time of Yang Zhou's experiment is too short, and fortunately he did not tell Old Man Tang about the fact that the experiment lasted for one day.
Now Old Man Tang thinks that Yang Zhou has been studying for many months before he comes up with the results.
reprimanded Yang Zhou, also because Yang Zhou did not do monkey experiments, real experiments, and there were too few experimental samples.
The most fundamental thing is to care about Yang Zhou, afraid that something will happen to Yang Zhou.
When Old Man Tang was scolding, Tang Yue's family of three was about to tremble with fright, but Yang Zhou still behaved normally, and accepted the old man's criticism very respectfully and humbly on the surface.
And promise not to risk your own life and your family's life in the future.
After saying the guarantee, Yang Zhou was stunned, and then frowned: "Grandpa Tang, then you still don't want to take this medicine this time, it is estimated that your nursing doctor will not agree, then let the Red Beach Laboratory finish the human experiment first, and then give it to you, this should be done in a few months." ”
The drug experiment, a little longer, fortunately, Yang Zhou can take out the gene optimization solution now, if he chooses to replant.
The time span of this experiment will be one or two years.
At that time, Old Man Tang didn't know if he could afford to wait.
Yang Zhou also reacted, did the old man criticize him, euphemistically reminded him that this drug is not safe, and asked him not to take it out without verification.
In case there is a hidden danger, the Tang family will also be harmed.
It's not easy to say this kind of thing directly, so Old Man Tang reminded him euphemistically, although it was criticism, but in the end, it was also a step.
Yang Zhou just used this step, indicating that he should not take it now.
After saying this, Yang Zhou was still a little unhappy, he kindly got the baby to come over to offer the treasure, and now it seems that he is going to be questioned and disliked.
However, Yang Zhou obviously thought too much, Old Man Tang had long looked down on life and death, how could he refuse the gifts sent by his children and grandchildren.
And this gift is also related to the future of mankind.
Even if he came to test the medicine himself, it would be no problem at all.
Tang Zhan is a hundred years old and has lived longer, he has nothing to worry about, even if he dies in an accident, he is not afraid, his children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and everything is fine now.
It's just a pity to die, and I can't see Huaguo start the interstellar era.
"What nonsense, do you dare to eat it, I don't dare to eat it? Take it, how to take it, I'll eat it now, I'll let Xiao Liu find out later, it's troublesome. The old man said angrily.
Xiao Liu is the old man's full-time doctor, and he stays by his side all year round.
At his level, the matter of physical health is not a private matter.
The majesty of the old man is still there, Tang Yue and Tang Jincheng don't dare to intervene at all, whatever the old man says, is what he says.
Yang Zhou is confident in his medicine, and he will not stop it.
And the mustard in his heart has disappeared, the old man didn't find him a step.
Just now, I was really concerned about his health.
And the spirit of Old Man Tang is also touching, Yang Zhou empathizes, it is estimated that the old man is really ready to die now.
After all, the medicine that Yang Zhou took out had been used by young people, middle-aged people, and sixty or seventy-year-old people.
But it hasn't been used for a 100-year-old yet.
With an age gap of one or two decades, no one knows what will happen to human cells.
You can feel it just by looking at the skin on the surface, Old Man Tang doesn't have much flesh all over his body, and his skin is also shriveled and loose, with countless markings on it.
And Yang Zhou's grandparents, even before taking medicine.
The body also looks more rounded.
When he handed the genetic optimization solution to the old man and asked the old man to open the soft plug and take it directly, Yang Zhou was also a little nervous.
"Old man, why don't you wait a little longer, think about it seriously, I really haven't eaten it for someone as old as you, for the sake of safety, why don't we give it to others first?" Yang Zhou said.
Tang Zhan raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Others are not people?" ”
After speaking, Tang Zhan took the light green liquid in his mouth, and smashed it in his mouth.
He didn't feel any taste, his sense of taste had long since deteriorated, and in fact, he didn't taste good when he usually ate.
Originally, he was going to eat dishes with heavy salt, but the doctor stared at him every day, he couldn't smoke or drink, and the food was the same as white.
Tang Zhan has been unhappy for a long, long time, he has a separate meal every day, because he has lost a lot of teeth, even if he fills his teeth, he can't eat anything too hard, most of the time he still drinks soup and eats porridge, or some softer dishes.
If this genetic optimization solution is useful, Tang Zhan hopes that he will be able to grow teeth again.
The sense of taste is also restored.
With these two changes, even if his life span is one year shorter, Tang Zhan is willing.
After the old man drank the medicine, everyone gathered around him.
Grandma Tang also wanted to take medicine, but was stopped by Old Man Tang himself.
According to his words, he is now the one who tries the medicine, and after half a month, he will personally feel that there is no problem, and then let Grandma Tang and Tang Yue take it.
Yang Zhou doesn't care, anyway, the shelf life of the medicine is very long, and it is not a big problem to put it for a year.
The active substance remains alive on its own in the bottle.
It's not a simple thing to rejuvenate your cells.
"I feel good, I'm a little hot, I want to go to the toilet, Jincheng will take me to the bathroom!" Tang Zhan shouted with a relaxed expression.
Tang Jincheng hurriedly pushed his father to the bathroom.
Because of the inconvenience of legs and feet, it is impossible for the elderly to go to the toilet and bathe by themselves.
needs to be taken care of, if it weren't for the fact that the peeling thing couldn't be exposed, the old man could also call the nurse to clean it up for him.
There are two nannies in the Tang family, a man and a woman are still husband and wife, usually Tang Jincheng and these people have to go to work, and the family is taken care of by the couple.
This time, Mr. Tang went to the bathroom for a long time, waited impatiently outside, and went to inquire about the situation.
In the end, the old man asked everyone not to wait for them and to start the meal first.
Others didn't know what was going on, and some juniors also speculated that Yang Zhou had offended the old man just now and made him angry.
It's just that Tang Jincheng didn't come out either, which seems very strange.
Fortunately, Tang Yue's mother is still friendly to Yang Zhou, otherwise there may be speculation from the Tang family that Yang Zhou is not welcomed, and the affairs of Yang Zhou and Tang Yue will be yellow in the future.
